Sun Shield FAQ
What kind of protection does Sun Shield offer?
Sun Shield is formulated with non-nano zinc oxide, which is known for its ability to provide a physical barrier against environmental elements. Zinc oxide is a natural mineral that sits on top of the skin, creating a shield from potential external aggressors.
Is Sun Shield suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes! Sun Shield is made with gentle, nourishing ingredients like avocado oil and jojoba oil, which are known for their soothing properties. We specifically avoid harsh chemicals, making it ideal for sensitive skin. However, as with any product, we recommend patch testing before full application.
Is Sun Shield safe for children and pregnant women?
Sun Shield is crafted with cold-pressed, organic oils and butters, alongside non-nano zinc oxide, making it a safe and gentle option for both children and pregnant women. However, we always advise consulting with a healthcare professional before introducing any new products during pregnancy.
What are the main ingredients in Sun Shield?
Sun Shield contains nourishing ingredients, including:
- Non-nano zinc oxide: Provides a protective barrier on the skin.
- Avocado oil: Rich in antioxidants and deeply hydrating.
- Coconut oil: Moisturizes and locks in hydration.
- Shea butter & cocoa butter: Nourish and protect the skin, leaving it feeling smooth.
- Coenzyme Q10: A powerful antioxidant that helps maintain skin’s youthful appearance.
How often should I reapply Sun Shield?
Since Sun Shield has not been specifically tested as an SPF product, we recommend reapplying it regularly, especially after sweating or swimming, to maintain its protective and moisturizing benefits.
Is Sun Shield waterproof?
Sun Shield is formulated with rich oils and butters that make it more resistant to water than regular moisturizers. However, it is not fully waterproof, so reapplication after water exposure is recommended.
How much product should I use for optimal protection?
We suggest applying a generous layer to ensure complete coverage, especially on areas prone to dryness or exposure. A pea-sized amount is usually sufficient for the face, but feel free to adjust based on your needs.
Can Sun Shield be worn under makeup?
Yes, Sun Shield is lightweight and absorbs well into the skin, making it an excellent base under makeup. It provides a smooth, hydrated surface, which helps foundation glide on effortlessly.
Does Sun Shield leave a white cast?
While some zinc oxide-based products leave a white cast, we have formulated Sun Shield to minimize this effect. It blends smoothly into the skin and is designed to work well with all skin tones.
Is Sun Shield vegan and cruelty-free?
Absolutely! Sun Shield is both vegan and cruelty-free. We are committed to using only plant-based ingredients and do not test our products on animals.
How should I store Sun Shield?
We recommend storing Sun Shield in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. This will help maintain the product’s consistency and effectiveness, especially during warmer months when the oils might liquefy.
Does Sun Shield expire?
Yes, like all natural products, Sun Shield has a shelf life. We recommend using it within 3-6 months of opening. If the product’s texture or smell changes, it’s best to discontinue use.
Does Sun Shield contain preservatives?
No, Sun Shield is made without synthetic preservatives. Its formula includes natural oils and butters, which have a long shelf life and provide nourishment without the need for artificial preservatives. To maintain its freshness, we recommend storing it in a cool, dry place and using it within 3-6 months of opening. If it changes in smell, texture or look discontinue use.
How do I apply Sun Shield?
Sun Shield is rich in natural butters, which may feel firm at first. To apply, scoop a small amount and warm it between your hands to melt the butters. Once it softens, gently massage it onto your skin for smooth and easy application. This allows the product to absorb well and provide optimal hydration and protection.
Is Sun Shield clinically tested?
No, Sun Shield has not undergone clinical testing for SPF certification or sun protection factors yet. While it is made with natural, high-quality ingredients, including non-nano zinc oxide known for its barrier-forming properties, it has not been tested or certified to provide specific sun protection levels. For complete sun safety, we recommend using a clinically tested sunscreen alongside Sun Shield.
